I enjoyed seeing the work of others, here, making the plague mask. And just so happens, DieselpunkRo is giving away a free template for a mini version.
I thought it would be a good chance to see how hard it would be to convert the template to a svg. It wasn’t too bad but, then again, it is just a one page template.
So here is my completed Plague Mask key fob, made with Proof grade medium natural leather.
I’m actually mid-process of converting DieselPunkRo’s full size plague mask to svg and prototyping, it hasn’t been too bad but even with some skills it takes a few hours. Here’s one prototype that seems to cheer people during this dark time.
Thank you for posting this. I have wanted to try some leather work for a while now, but always felt intimidated by it. I’ve had all the tools I needed, just wasn’t sure how to get started. I decided to give this a try and it worked out really well. His video was great - walked through every step. Thanks again. Couldn’t be more fitting for right now. I think this will be our 2020 christmas ornament.
Here is the underside. I had purchased a set of veg leather scraps from a FB laser and leather group and this green seemed like a good choice for this mask.
So I purchased DieselpunkRo’s latest Plague Mask design and converted the files. I cut it out of craft foam and glued it up Really Quick (so it has some flaws) just to determine scale.
